Hi, I'm trying to build wireshark on my environment and I'm getting this error message:

1 Error(s)

For some reason qrc_about.obj cannot be found

I followed to the letter the instructions here: https://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsdg_h...

I have:

Python 3.8.6 cmake version 4.1.1

cmake did not produce any errors

thanks

Can you show the output of the CMake generate step, i.e. the item 2.2.1.12in the WDG, that gives us info on your build environment?
